However, Monday’s Super Wild Card Weekend home playoff game was seen with snow covered stands at Highmark Stadium before the game in Orchard Park.
Previously the game was postponed from Sunday due to a blizzard now details of a snow-covered seat have been circulated on social media. Fans were seen taking their seats in the snow-covered stadium, as the weather in Buffalo seems to have gotten worse.
As reported on Friday, the Bills have requested volunteers to help shovel snow with work paying $20 per hour, with complimentary food, to get the stadium ready for the game.
Bills, vice president of operations, Andy Major, shared how they’re planning to get the seats ready before the game,
“We have a plan of snow removal of what we call ‘bringing the seats,’ where we spray a solution on the snow in the seats to help turn it into a much safer situation of slush.”
In a major development, ahead of kickoff, the Bills announced that there will be no assigned seats for the big clash at Highmark Stadium. Technically, all the fans who have bought the tickets for the AFC Wild Card Playoffs game can simply sit wherever they wish in the snow-covered sitting.
The Bills and the NFL have officially announced that there would be no assigned seating during the wild-card game on Monday for the first time as the seats are beneath three feet of snow.
This marks the first time in NFL playoff history that the league has not assigned seats, allowing NFL fans to simply find an area of their choice and claim it as their own.
